WORDLESS WEDNESDAY - BREAD

My favourite baking activity:  making loaves of bread, slicing them, freezing them in half-loaves.


Potato bread, multi-grain/seed/nut bread, butter'n egg bread... Nothing makes the house smell so good. And I can make all 5 of these loaves at the same time.  Then, all 5 fit into the oven at once, so it doesn't take more than one baking period.  Easy.

The ones in the photo are likely potato bread.  I use a very easy recipe which is so flexible that I no longer even think of reading a recipe when I make bread.

I know this is not a photo of an ancestor... but I'll be someone's ancestor at some point, and they will see that I loved to make bread. Right?

is this with real mashed potatoes, or instant potatoe flakes?

Celia: A good point that we should take time to post for our descendants. Nice photo and beautiful loaves. Now we need to see a "Family Recipe Friday" post capturing your recipe so it is not lost. ;-)

Welcome!

Family, friends, and others - I hope you enjoy these pages about our ancestors and their lives. Genealogy has become somewhat of an obsession, more than a hobby, and definitely a wonderful mystery to dig into and discover. Enjoy my writing, and contact me at celia.winky at gmail dot com if you have anything to add to the stories. ... Celia Lewis
